The problems of establishing wind farming in New Zealand

K.R. Dawber

Renewable Energy, 1994, vol. 5, issue 1, 658-660

Abstract: In New Zealand's deregulated economy, wind farming has to be able to be proved to be competitive on an unsubsidized financial basis with existing methods of electricity generation, such as hydro and thermal, before utilities can be persuaded to develop large scale wind farms, even though the wind energy resource is substantial by world standards. It is possible that a policy to reduce carbon dioxide emission will eventually lead to some impetus in the construction of wind farms.
